In Illinois it's legal to record a conversation without consent and I use ACR call recorder on my phone. Due to recent changes in laws the app has to conform to stricter guidelines. The only major change implemented was, the phone number the call was with wouldn't be saved. So you would need to manually save the number with the audio.

Pulling up, acting like he does, in a fake cop vehicle. Screaming and cursing at me. I'll likely pull a gun on him. I would have no idea what is going, other than a crazy person is escalating.
He wouldn't be so defensive were he a person of substance. Unfortunately for him - and for every single human being who has to deal with him - he's just a dude with a little bitty . . . brain. Typical police wannabe, who failed the psyche tests. It's always surprising to see the extent to which "Motor One" will go to assure himself that he's truly a man.
I’ve sat here for hours just amazed at the amount of content Jeremy has provided for the entire world. The rabbit hole just keeps getting deeper and deeper and I’m loving it.
Yes!!🤣And how about the time he’s leading/guiding a funeral & yells out “This is a police escort” while in a full salute to the cars passing by?!🚨🫡🏍️👮♂️I mean he’s just unbelievable, but it’s hilarious & pure gold entertainment!🤯🙊😂
My tin foil theory is real world police was paying the judges to let him keep getting out on bond so they can keep making content… ( I don’t actually believe this dumb ass theory but it’s fun to speculate and fantasize)
@@Peter421 He's white, he will have a longer term and have less of a chance of parole. Though he doesn't deserve parole and he needs to be in there for a really long time if you ask me
Sadly today most are, people under 40 have no sense or work ethic, they think the world evolves around them, of course there is always exceptions to the rule. I have a neighbor that always talked big about his Army exploits not knowing that I myself served. I would just listen to his hogwash and let him spin his yarn out more an more an more, he reminds me of this knucklehead in this video
I hope he has at least read though a few comments, the over whelming percentage of people calling him out on his ignorance is so high, he’s for sure read the “public” opinion on his character by now.
He even carries an unloaded bb gun on him to look even more like a cop. He tells people he is ex military, that he is a cop, that he is a state certified officer. Dude is a total lunatic.
I love how he thought she had hung up and immediately bragged that "she was frightened" because he's proud that he has intimidated an older woman and then goes on to harass her. I'm honestly surprised that someone hasn't critically injured this guy yet.
Or shot you can see him run up on cars with his hand on his gun butt. Florida is pretty good at stand your ground laws a felon who is also a registered SO impersonating a LEO running up on me I would consider that a threat. Plus the handcuffs and everything I'm sure you would have a good case
Dear Sir , I thank you for your outstanding post. I’m a retired Marine Corps Gysgt with 3 tours in Vietnam 🇻🇳. I would love to do that. Please if he would just give me one minute face to face in person. I’m sure that I would go to jail but I have been with real veterans who have died. This FAKE need to be put in place for the world needs to see justice. Again I Thank You
@@im_the_this_youre_the_that I'm not a lawyer it I think it would make it even more clear you needed to stand your ground with him faking being a peace officer. It would make me hesitant to shoot for sure the way he's dressed but to me its a fake cop acting like he's about to draw on you thats 100 percent self defense
I don't know how I tumbled down the rabbit hole of videos about him but he is quite possibly one of the most annoying humans I have ever witnessed. Lmaooo
I've been watching these videos in my free time for about a week now - it's insane. The dude legit thinks he's some officer of the law. Disturbing, really.
There’s another video of him getting let go by the police, and as he’s pulling away, he’s shouting “I’m a good person! Please don’t tell stories about me unless you say I’m a good person!”
Leo Verran YES, and his wife lying to get the driver locked up. Moron threw five metal chairs off the 6th floor and almost got away with an apology until he finally admitted he wasn't actually police. Painful to watch. Tow guy a Dad of nine, called by the property manager. Just unreal!
Kimber Bogema assuming no one actually got hit by a chair so I can laugh, wonder how he ended up in Chicago, what a complete menace to the world, and yet he finds a woman to stand by his side during this, that is also very funny
It was a 'rental car' not even his personal vehicle like who cares but of JD does n willing to commit a felony assault n go to jail over a rental car getting towed 🤣😂
@@leoverran311 You can watch the video of his arrest in Chicago. He threw 4-5 chairs from the 6th floor. He also lied about his arrest from this event.
He loves crying for a Sargeant every time he deals with officers. Until that time a Sargeant arrested him and he started screeching for a lieutenant or captain.
For some background, the police made this guy rich. They worked with him for a decade and enabled his shenanigans. What you're watching is the failure of the local police because they 100% enabled this guy's behavior. He has his own TH-cam channel in which you can see him interacting and being hired by the cops. Police would hire him to do community patrol in which they would take over neighborhoods like Marines do in Afghanistan. He became very wealthy from this which is how he became the owner of an entire fleet of cars. This isn't a police impersonator. It's a police lackey that they allowed to wreak havoc on the community for a decade.
I would absolutely love to just continually call his business with false complaints over and over and over again in 2019 or 2020. We really missed a good opportunity here.
8:37 *FAKE COP* : Do you think I just bought a bunch of cars and bikes with lights and decals to pretend to be cops? *EVERYONE WATCHING THIS* : YES, that’s precisely what we all think. lol
Believe it or not he actually was a police officer for a short period of time but then he got fired and I'm pretty sure he was Convicted of a sort of sex offense.
Sarah Oneil your confused he never had anything to do with the police officers he was involved in their scout program and saying it was police academy when it really wasn’t.
StrctlyBiz Bear it matters if you're state??? Maybe you can explain to another "potato " how does it matter if we are state?? My construction company has to block traffic all the time and we have never been state? So id love to hear "how it matters" because I've been doing this for over 26 years and until just now i had no idea you had to be state or that it even matters?????
@@brockolee847 does you construction company use vehicles that are made to look like police cars to block traffic and have the people driving those vehicles wear bullet proof vests, duty belts, carry handcuffs, fake badges and fake guns? If no, then no it doesn't matter. It mattering if they're state or not only matters because this dude is trying so hard to make it look like he's a state police officer bc he's got some narcissistic complex of some sort. Florida allows some exceptions to traffic rules for funeral processions, but this dude goes beyond what's legally allowed blocking traffic too far in advance (the reason this woman called), reckless driving, crossing double yellows, telling drivers to pull over, breaking the speed limit, etc. another reason(s) it matters if he's state or not.
Brock Olee It matters if you are maintaining safety within your zone of operation, e.i your construction site/zone. It is your responsibility for matters of culpability that you advised oncoming traffic of potential hazards. That is to protect your own behind. Whereas this tool is riding like a lunatic, dressing up as a municipal/state officer and trying to impose his unlawful orders upon people. Huge difference as to what each persons goal are sir.
He thinks that his business license qualifies as “state sanctioning”. There is another video where a Sheriff dresses him down and tells him in plain English that he’s no different than FedEx or a company that flags construction sites.
@@whyyousmilingwhenyournexth4047 This guy was arrested before for police impersonation and if you watch some of the other videos of him escorting you can see him do a list of activities that the Florida Statue does NOT cover. Example: Going code three to catch up.
@@toyajackson556 The people you can hear in the background. In his other videos you can also see multiple vehicles branded "Metro State" that are also impersonating police.
“Dumb Hillbilly.” This guy makes my blood boil. He is so rude and power hungry, and wants to flex his “authority”. The women has every right to call 911 if she thought this was suspicious.
No,he wasn’t an paratrooper,he was an Ranger that went SF. I’d like you people to get your facts right,it ain’t easy to brcome an ex-SF that runs an state licenced agency😤
Some SECURITY companies do have "Units" (Unarmed, Armed, Plain clothes, and Private investigations). Security companies employ Security "Guards/Officers". And not all, but some do have "dispatchers". Not trying to defend the dude or anything, just saying.
@@Unknown-Unknown. Typically, in the security industry, we refer to clients that want armed guards as "armed accounts" or "posts". Can confirm "security officer" is a thing, it's the actual state licensing term for it in my state. My license literally says "Commissioned Security Officer" on it. But I absolutely hate being referred to as "officer". Because I don't hold, nor am I sanctioned by, a federal, state, county, or municipal government office. I'm a private contractor who carries a firearm.
“I wasn’t done”- that is this guy in a nutshell. He never...EVER shuts up. He keeps running his mouth like he’s some big shot. He acts like he knows more than the police, his lawyers, and even the judge. I also noticed in one video he said the lights of his “company” are amber and purple, yeah because in no way are those lights similar to red and blue. This guy is a piece of work.
To be fair, the amber and purple lights are not his choice, it's what's legally prescribed for funeral escort vehicles. Though as mentioned in the arrest warrant, the statute that allows these lights says amber OR purple, and they have multiple of both, plus red lenses on some of the vehicles.
These clowns are still in business and around Orlando acting like cops. They are an absolute disgrace to those that understand the law and difference between the Security field and Law Enforcement. He and his company need to be put out of business.
This guy didn’t get held accountable or punished for anything he did as a kid. Parents take this as perfect example of what letting your kids get away with everything turns into as an adult.
Yeah, this guy is way off his rocker. He has a patch that says METRO STATE ENFORCEMENT for a funeral company. Imagine being that much of a loser that you create a company just to run around impersonating a police officer.
Man, I could recognize that 'METRO STATE' sticker anywhere! Went from mildly interested to glued to my laptop in 3.5! Love your stuff, Real World Police
Well considering there’s at minimum 10 videos of this ass clown including court appearances and he’s still doing this shows how awesome Chicago and Orlando are at this.
How professional to be outside and venting pure frustration at people with condescending and douchy verbiage that never were rude and asked reasonable questions. Jeremy is the gift that keeps on giving.
I hear his cohorts in the background supporting this lunacy... Will they be charged as well in this dispute? As it seems that this "private company" has no discrepancy for the actual laws in place, or is he the only one going down for this?
Tyler LaRowe I think you’re not fully understanding this situation. He found out that lady called his supervisor via wiretap and then proceeded to call her. There was a video a few weeks ago on this man pretty much taking his job way to far and pulling people over because they were in the way of the funeral traffic. They can legally block traffic for the funeral traffic.. which I’m sure you know that if you’ve been to one. This guy does more things on the side and actually pulls people over. No one else in that company does it but him.
They have a decent semblance of the law, they wouldn't be doing funeral processions or had this company for this long. They just let their ego take over and started to let the cars and uniforms go to their heads.
@JayDee That's actually not true. His employees have been hit with charges recently as well. Randall Brocius was arrested for openly carrying a firearm -and- -false- -personation,- -and- -Victor- -Lopez- -was- -arrested- -for- -false- -personation.- On top of that, Metro State is currently the defendant in an eviction lawsuit. Doesn't look like they'll be doing much funeral escorting anymore. Whomever was protecting them isn't any longer. *UPDATE* Victor Lopez contacted me to inform me that he and Brocius had not been arrested for false personation. I don't know if he is aware, but it appears that Lopez and Brocius only narrowly avoided arrest themselves (assuming that charges are not still coming). I don't usually get things wrong, and I owe you an explanation as to why I believed that they had been arrested. I could have been more thorough, but I believe that my conclusion was reasonable. Document excerpts that explain it are in a Google Drive folder at tiny.cc/personation (I intend to contact OCSO to find out why Lopez is listed as a "defendant" with a false personation charge and bond amount.) In investigating my error I came across some other information: On 11/19/19 Brocius was arrested while driving an unregistered Metro-State ambulance. Yes, you read that right. (The ambulance had tags from another vehicle on it, and Brocius' driver's license had been suspended for failure to pay child support.) On 11/24/19 Brocius received a citation for driving a vehicle with unauthorized red/blue lights. Lopez's history isn't squeaky clean, either. In 2014 he pleaded no contest to charges of theft by fraud, accepting a plea deal wherein he paid $2,700 restitution, and was sentenced to 2 days jail with credit for 2 days served, followed by 18 months probation with early termination possible after 9 months. Lopez was also required to complete 100 community service hours, take an impulse control class, and pay court costs. He had been working at a RaceTrac and was caught on video conducting fraudulent refunds of large amounts of 5 Hour Energy drinks. The details: "I then spoke to Alexis Rivera, the manager of Store RT90, who stated Victor was an associate at store RT90 for approximately five weeks and worked with Alexis approximately two to three days a week. On August 22, 2014, Alexis took inventory and observed 830 to 840 "5 Hour Energy" shots were missing. He received an e-mail from Wendell on the same day advising of suspicious refund activity at his store. After printing the reports, Alexis observed Victor had the highest and most number of refunds. Alexis then looked at surveillance footage based on the dates of the suspicious refunds and observed Victor creating fraudulent refunds and stealing money from the register. Alexis observed Victor reach over the counter to grab the 5 Hour Energy shot, refund the money, put the money aside on the drawer, bend down to make a "drop" and place some of the money in the left pocket of his pants. On August 26, 2014, he and Wendell confronted Victor about the incidents. Victor verbally admitted to both Wendell and Alexis about the fraudulent refunds and stealing of money. Victor advised to both men he did not know why he did it, but that a voice inside his head was telling him to take the money. Victor then disclosed he still had approximately $1,700 in cash left and the rest he had used to buy merchandise like a watch for $500, movies, and food for homeless people. Alexis provided a sworn written statement. He is willing to testify in court."
@@RealWorldPolice You say he was arrested for open carrying a firearm, is that illegal while he was working or was he not permitted to be carrying a firearm? If you happen to know of course. Thanks for the content.
"I'm not harassing you" "I'm trying to explain to you". He's not explaining anything, he's asking a series of leading questions attempting to box her into a corner so he can wind up for a killer slam. But she's not buying it and keeps hanging up, which he can't have. He has to keep calling her back to try and cajole her into following him into his dumb rhetorical trap. But in the end he fails, and he just calls her a bitch while quickly hanging up and running away from the conversation.
He sounds like he's trying really hard to sound like a proper professional cop. Even telling the victim that she talked to his supervisor, like an officer might, despite the fact that he owns the company. Pathetic.
They can't to ths degree, hence the charges. I advise you to read the arrest documents at the end of the video. They are NOT allowed to use sirens, they did. They are only allowed to use an amber OR purple light. They used multiple strobes of both colours at the same time. Read the documents. They write him up on everything he's doing. The 'uniforms', the paint schemes of the cars, they call his staff out for wearing guns and/or tazers, badges, police style logos. Busted!!!!
the law also give NO AUTHORITY to direct traffic, act as a traffic control device, or break ANY traffic laws for such a service. Basically all they are supposed to do is drive at the front of the procession. He was going ballistic over people ignoring him and trying to order cars out of line or running them off and making them stay on the side of the road as "punishment" for cutting in line or ignoring his orders. He literally chased people down and held them on the side of the road while the procession passed, when there were multiple lanes of travel in one direction.
Can someone explain why they would need to wear gun belts with tazers, pepper spray and night sticks? That makes no sense. That's like if the guy bagging your groceries needed to wear a harness and a helmet with a parachute. I mean it makes NO sense.
He keeps calling hee back to "explain" things but instead he asks her the same question that she's already clearly answered. Dude has serious insecurity issues that spark his need to control others.
That's because he is still contemplating on a career and likes to keep his options open. He does know for sure that when he grows up he wants to be a cop. Wait.... next it will be Secret Service or some Special Ops. With this lunatic anything goes.
Not just a cop, but he think he is above everything. Driving recklessly , while yelling at everyone. It was a funeral escort, not a murderer chasing, for god shake. Yet, he think he was in charge and in the right. Look at how frustration he was (like he had the worse job and everyone was so stupid). He thought he was doing some heroic things, but really, he was just playing GTA.
Oh, Jeremy, that IS harassment! I’ll never understand how this man was allowed to bond out on so many different arrests. As they started to stack up, they should have revoked all of his bonds.
Tin foil hat theory real world police PAID the judges to keep letting him bond so they can keep milking content. Do I actually believe this theory? Hell no but it’s fun to think about.
His “employees” should be arrested for impersonating an officer too. That should be a minimum of 2 years in prison. If he does it again, put him away for ten years and take his drivers license.
"you are an elven high priestess, sitting before the court of your people, beginning to find her royal duties to be monotonous. If only the king and queen would let you have a little fun..."

Publication of private facts is something all journalists need to be very careful about, as in most states, you can be sued for publishing private facts about another person, *even if those facts are true.*
The term "private facts" refers to information about someone's personal life that has not previously been revealed to the public, that is not of legitimate public concern, and the publication of which would be offensive to a reasonable person. For example, writing about a person's HIV status, sexual orientation, or financial troubles could lead to liability for publication of private facts.
However, the law protects you when you publish information that is *newsworthy,* regardless of whether someone else would like you to keep that information private. In addition, the law protects you if you publish information already exposed to the public eye and particularly so if that material was obtained from publicly available court records.

Guy is chief of crazy town.
Chief of crazy town? I don't think so, he's not crazy. He very well may be the Mayor of Assholvania though.
He wouldn't be so defensive were he a person of substance. Unfortunately for him - and for every single human being who has to deal with him - he's just a dude with a little bitty . . . brain. Typical police wannabe, who failed the psyche tests. It's always surprising to see the extent to which "Motor One" will go to assure himself that he's truly a man.
@@jerrysmith7449 hes your typical gta rp cop lol.

Th are what I thought. Why do you keep calling them officers.
I’ve sat here for hours just amazed at the amount of content Jeremy has provided for the entire world. The rabbit hole just keeps getting deeper and deeper and I’m loving it.
I fell into the DIMwitt rabbit hole 3 days ago and haven't gotten any work done 🤣
And there's still hours and hours of videos yet to go
Yes!!🤣And how about the time he’s leading/guiding a funeral & yells out “This is a police escort” while in a full salute to the cars passing by?!🚨🫡🏍️👮♂️I mean he’s just unbelievable, but it’s hilarious & pure gold entertainment!🤯🙊😂
My tin foil theory is real world police was paying the judges to let him keep getting out on bond so they can keep making content… ( I don’t actually believe this dumb ass theory but it’s fun to speculate and fantasize)
This guy is using this "business" as a way to play out his fantasy of being a cop. Nobody could ever convince me otherwise.
David Grub I thought that was kinda obvious
100% correct
Well you convinced me! Lol
I agree 100 %... and that must be a psychological condition
It’s easy if you were to try impersonating someone who was convinced otherwise....
I think he’s going to impersonate guards in prison.
His ass is going to be impersonating a Fleshlight in prison.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i hope so
In prison, it's roll playing. Ha
He’s going to impersonate a bitch to a much larger inmate lol
I know he's going to impersonate women for them.....
This guy can’t interact with other people without causing problems.
He's white
@@Peter421 Is he? Or Is he impersonating that as well?
@@Peter421 He's white, he will have a longer term and have less of a chance of parole. Though he doesn't deserve parole and he needs to be in there for a really long time if you ask me

This dude is his own worst enemy.
Sadly today most are, people under 40 have no sense or work ethic, they think the world evolves around them, of course there is always exceptions to the rule. I have a neighbor that always talked big about his Army exploits not knowing that I myself served. I would just listen to his hogwash and let him spin his yarn out more an more an more, he reminds me of this knucklehead in this video

@@TheLeadSled Pretty sure this guy is over 40 tho... So kinda destroys your entire argument.
The State of Florida should clone him and deputize the clone to go after him. Best TV show ever.
I hope he has at least read though a few comments, the over whelming percentage of people calling him out on his ignorance is so high, he’s for sure read the “public” opinion on his character by now.
I've watched this lunatic in several videos, what I'd like to know, how he keeps being able to get back on the road and repeat his actions.
Me too its crazy
Lock him up!!!!!!! For good!!!! This man is a big danger to the public, he is extremely aggressive and clearly acts like a cop. Terribly dangerous.
He even carries an unloaded bb gun on him to look even more like a cop. He tells people he is ex military, that he is a cop, that he is a state certified officer. Dude is a total lunatic.
hopefully he's done now
Weird I know
I love how he thought she had hung up and immediately bragged that "she was frightened" because he's proud that he has intimidated an older woman and then goes on to harass her. I'm honestly surprised that someone hasn't critically injured this guy yet.
Right? If he did this to me, my stepson would make mincemeat out of him 🤕

He does that often

Exactly.
How he hasn't gotten the shit beat out of him by someone, to the point of being permanently in a wheel chair, is beyond me.
I've been wondering the same thing
Or shot you can see him run up on cars with his hand on his gun butt. Florida is pretty good at stand your ground laws a felon who is also a registered SO impersonating a LEO running up on me I would consider that a threat. Plus the handcuffs and everything I'm sure you would have a good case
Dear Sir , I thank you for your outstanding post. I’m a retired Marine Corps Gysgt with 3 tours in Vietnam 🇻🇳. I would love to do that. Please if he would just give me one minute face to face in person. I’m sure that I would go to jail but I have been with real veterans who have died.

I don't know how I tumbled down the rabbit hole of videos about him but he is quite possibly one of the most annoying humans I have ever witnessed. Lmaooo
I stg he is the most annoying f*** I’ve ever witnessed
He's not only impersonating being an officer, he's also impersonating being a human!
Could not have put it better. Somehow went vid after vid on this douche and good LORD what an insufferable asshole 😂😂
Yes! lmao
I've been watching these videos in my free time for about a week now - it's insane. The dude legit thinks he's some officer of the law. Disturbing, really.
This guy is a joke, the staff are probably his kissing cousins
I was shocked, he has a website.
His staff are verbally beaten into submission.
Notice how he uses the words “ units” “officers”, and “dispatch line”
And his vest says metro state enforcement
FUCBOI
Don’t forget the bulletproof vests too! To protect themselves from the dead bodies they protect.
High risk dead body's lol he said that in another video 🤣
Google they website they also do high risk funerals.

“please call our dispatch line”😩😩😩😩
Well, she warned him not to get sassy. He got sassy and now he's in jail!
For how long and is he in jail as of right now?

Benny C LETS GOOOOOO
He's a too sessy!
He is a complete narcissist
And douche
Pathological narcissist.
And a sexual pervert towards younger girls. His family must be so embarrassed.
Sociopathic at the least.
There’s another video of him getting let go by the police, and as he’s pulling away, he’s shouting “I’m a good person! Please don’t tell stories about me unless you say I’m a good person!”
Is this the same guy that ended up in Chicago, throwing chairs off a balcony as his car was being towed?
Leo Verran YES, and his wife lying to get the driver locked up. Moron threw five metal chairs off the 6th floor and almost got away with an apology until he finally admitted he wasn't actually police. Painful to watch. Tow guy a Dad of nine, called by the property manager. Just unreal!
Kimber Bogema assuming no one actually got hit by a chair so I can laugh, wonder how he ended up in Chicago, what a complete menace to the world, and yet he finds a woman to stand by his side during this, that is also very funny
It was a 'rental car' not even his personal vehicle like who cares but of JD does n willing to commit a felony assault n go to jail over a rental car getting towed 🤣😂
@@leoverran311 You can watch the video of his arrest in Chicago. He threw 4-5 chairs from the 6th floor. He also lied about his arrest from this event.
He also claims to be an officer (or “state sanctioned agent”) to the Chicago Police. Eventually they figure him out and haul him off too.
"Funeral proceedings": include pepper spray, batons, a gun belt, taser and a pistol.
"per florida statute" is his excuse for everything
Over and over and over again, even when he isn't there! Plus he gets them wrong lol
He loves crying for a Sargeant every time he deals with officers. Until that time a Sargeant arrested him and he started screeching for a lieutenant or captain.
Ya and even then he gets them wrong, the idiot has the IQ of a pumpkin pie, it's no wonder he is the most hated man in America.
EVERYTHING
His other favorite word is Sargent!! I hear that in almost every video including when this muppet got cuffed and stuffed in Chicago.
This guy is going to be polishing the guards boots in prison, he seems like the type.
Or he'll just impersonate the guards

He's going to get his cheeks busted.
For some background, the police made this guy rich. They worked with him for a decade and enabled his shenanigans. What you're watching is the failure of the local police because they 100% enabled this guy's behavior. He has his own TH-cam channel in which you can see him interacting and being hired by the cops. Police would hire him to do community patrol in which they would take over neighborhoods like Marines do in Afghanistan. He became very wealthy from this which is how he became the owner of an entire fleet of cars.
This isn't a police impersonator. It's a police lackey that they allowed to wreak havoc on the community for a decade.
These Funeral Homes need to know who they are doing business with!
RIGHT
You would think that no one would want to do business with this lunatic!
I would absolutely love to just continually call his business with false complaints over and over and over again in 2019 or 2020. We really missed a good opportunity here.

@@brockolee847 does you construction company use vehicles that are made to look like police cars to block traffic and have the people driving those vehicles wear bullet proof vests, duty belts, carry handcuffs, fake badges and fake guns? If no, then no it doesn't matter. It mattering if they're state or not only matters because this dude is trying so hard to make it look like he's a state police officer bc he's got some narcissistic complex of some sort. Florida allows some exceptions to traffic rules for funeral processions, but this dude goes beyond what's legally allowed blocking traffic too far in advance (the reason this woman called), reckless driving, crossing double yellows, telling drivers to pull over, breaking the speed limit, etc. another reason(s) it matters if he's state or not.
Brock Olee It matters if you are maintaining safety within your zone of operation, e.i your construction site/zone. It is your responsibility for matters of culpability that you advised oncoming traffic of potential hazards. That is to protect your own behind. Whereas this tool is riding like a lunatic, dressing up as a municipal/state officer and trying to impose his unlawful orders upon people. Huge difference as to what each persons goal are sir.

Some SECURITY companies do have "Units" (Unarmed, Armed, Plain clothes, and Private investigations). Security companies employ Security "Guards/Officers". And not all, but some do have "dispatchers".
Not trying to defend the dude or anything, just saying.
Who the hell licensed their company?
@David DeVito No they're not. They're called "Loss Prevention Associates"
@@Unknown-Unknown. Typically, in the security industry, we refer to clients that want armed guards as "armed accounts" or "posts". Can confirm "security officer" is a thing, it's the actual state licensing term for it in my state. My license literally says "Commissioned Security Officer" on it. But I absolutely hate being referred to as "officer". Because I don't hold, nor am I sanctioned by, a federal, state, county, or municipal government office. I'm a private contractor who carries a firearm.
“I wasn’t done”- that is this guy in a nutshell. He never...EVER shuts up. He keeps running his mouth like he’s some big shot. He acts like he knows more than the police, his lawyers, and even the judge.
I also noticed in one video he said the lights of his “company” are amber and purple, yeah because in no way are those lights similar to red and blue.
This guy is a piece of work.
To be fair, the amber and purple lights are not his choice, it's what's legally prescribed for funeral escort vehicles. Though as mentioned in the arrest warrant, the statute that allows these lights says amber OR purple, and they have multiple of both, plus red lenses on some of the vehicles.

I hear his cohorts in the background supporting this lunacy... Will they be charged as well in this dispute? As it seems that this "private company" has no discrepancy for the actual laws in place, or is he the only one going down for this?
Tyler LaRowe I think you’re not fully understanding this situation. He found out that lady called his supervisor via wiretap and then proceeded to call her. There was a video a few weeks ago on this man pretty much taking his job way to far and pulling people over because they were in the way of the funeral traffic.
They can legally block traffic for the funeral traffic.. which I’m sure you know that if you’ve been to one. This guy does more things on the side and actually pulls people over. No one else in that company does it but him.
They have a decent semblance of the law, they wouldn't be doing funeral processions or had this company for this long. They just let their ego take over and started to let the cars and uniforms go to their heads.
@JayDee That's actually not true. His employees have been hit with charges recently as well. Randall Brocius was arrested for openly carrying a firearm -and- -false- -personation,- -and- -Victor- -Lopez- -was- -arrested- -for- -false- -personation.- On top of that, Metro State is currently the defendant in an eviction lawsuit. Doesn't look like they'll be doing much funeral escorting anymore. Whomever was protecting them isn't any longer.
*UPDATE* Victor Lopez contacted me to inform me that he and Brocius had not been arrested for false personation. I don't know if he is aware, but it appears that Lopez and Brocius only narrowly avoided arrest themselves (assuming that charges are not still coming). I don't usually get things wrong, and I owe you an explanation as to why I believed that they had been arrested. I could have been more thorough, but I believe that my conclusion was reasonable.
Document excerpts that explain it are in a Google Drive folder at tiny.cc/personation
(I intend to contact OCSO to find out why Lopez is listed as a "defendant" with a false personation charge and bond amount.)
In investigating my error I came across some other information:
On 11/19/19 Brocius was arrested while driving an unregistered Metro-State ambulance. Yes, you read that right. (The ambulance had tags from another vehicle on it, and Brocius' driver's license had been suspended for failure to pay child support.) On 11/24/19 Brocius received a citation for driving a vehicle with unauthorized red/blue lights.
Lopez's history isn't squeaky clean, either. In 2014 he pleaded no contest to charges of theft by fraud, accepting a plea deal wherein he paid $2,700 restitution, and was sentenced to 2 days jail with credit for 2 days served, followed by 18 months probation with early termination possible after 9 months. Lopez was also required to complete 100 community service hours, take an impulse control class, and pay court costs. He had been working at a RaceTrac and was caught on video conducting fraudulent refunds of large amounts of 5 Hour Energy drinks.
The details:
"I then spoke to Alexis Rivera, the manager of Store RT90, who stated Victor was an associate at store RT90 for approximately five weeks and worked with Alexis approximately two to three days a week. On August 22, 2014, Alexis took inventory and observed 830 to 840 "5 Hour Energy" shots were missing. He received an e-mail from Wendell on the same day advising of suspicious refund activity at his store. After printing the reports, Alexis observed Victor had the highest and most number of refunds. Alexis then looked at surveillance footage based on the dates of the suspicious refunds and observed Victor creating fraudulent refunds and stealing money from the register. Alexis observed Victor reach over the counter to grab the 5 Hour Energy shot, refund the money, put the money aside on the drawer, bend down to make a "drop" and place some of the money in the left pocket of his pants.
On August 26, 2014, he and Wendell confronted Victor about the incidents. Victor verbally admitted to both Wendell and Alexis about the fraudulent refunds and stealing of money. Victor advised to both men he did not know why he did it, but that a voice inside his head was telling him to take the money. Victor then disclosed he still had approximately $1,700 in cash left and the rest he had used to buy merchandise like a watch for $500, movies, and food for homeless people.
Alexis provided a sworn written statement. He is willing to testify in court."
@@RealWorldPolice You say he was arrested for open carrying a firearm, is that illegal while he was working or was he not permitted to be carrying a firearm? If you happen to know of course. Thanks for the content.
"this "private company" has no discrepancy for the actual laws"
What exactly does this mean?
"I'm not harassing you" "I'm trying to explain to you". He's not explaining anything, he's asking a series of leading questions attempting to box her into a corner so he can wind up for a killer slam. But she's not buying it and keeps hanging up, which he can't have. He has to keep calling her back to try and cajole her into following him into his dumb rhetorical trap. But in the end he fails, and he just calls her a bitch while quickly hanging up and running away from the conversation.
He just can't stand it that she won't let him talk and control the conversation. He can't let go until he gets control and has the last word.
Straight up narcissism. The NPD kind. He can’t change but he can be controlled at some point. It’s infuriating
I'm socially awkward, this guy is socially inept. He thinks he's a badass but is so far from it.
WOOOOORLDSSSSSTAAAAAAR!
Being socially awkward takes self-awareness. This guy's got none of that.
As soon as the person on the phone takes control of the conversation at the end he reacts just like a narcissist would
When she says "Well you weren't doing it" that cracked me up just her tone 😂😂😂
This is the same guy that was crying in court for impersonating an officer, right?
M Bogs12 yes
Thanks, i was being rhetorical though
Oh my gosh is this that same guy hurling abuse at all the drivers on his bike.He is so annoying.
That’s a 10-4
He sounds like he's trying really hard to sound like a proper professional cop. Even telling the victim that she talked to his supervisor, like an officer might, despite the fact that he owns the company. Pathetic.
Even in his own fantasy he's not the boss.
Jeremy Jones Only when he has a complaint and things look bad he all a sudden has a boss so he doesn’t take the blame..
@@ClawDogVending 😂😂😂😂😂
Such a rude guy. He’s harassing an individual who has a legitimate concern. He’s a cop wanna be as we all know!!!
He's crazy! Thanks so much for posting these, has been such a great story. This channel is the best of the best!!
I really like this woman, she's a character. Give her an interview.
I love her. Can I keep her??
This woman reminds me of my grandma who is no longer with us but if she was she would smack the s*** out of Jeremy that's for sure
Yes!!! Love her!
Thought this was a dude not gonna lie
Ryan Pure 😮🤭
I have no idea why these guys are able to conduct with lights and sirens all because of a funeral procession it's ridiculous
Florida is crazy on every level
They can't to ths degree, hence the charges. I advise you to read the arrest documents at the end of the video. They are NOT allowed to use sirens, they did. They are only allowed to use an amber OR purple light. They used multiple strobes of both colours at the same time. Read the documents. They write him up on everything he's doing. The 'uniforms', the paint schemes of the cars, they call his staff out for wearing guns and/or tazers, badges, police style logos. Busted!!!!
They aren't. The statute restricts all that, but this douche was doing it anyway.
the law also give NO AUTHORITY to direct traffic, act as a traffic control device, or break ANY traffic laws for such a service. Basically all they are supposed to do is drive at the front of the procession. He was going ballistic over people ignoring him and trying to order cars out of line or running them off and making them stay on the side of the road as "punishment" for cutting in line or ignoring his orders. He literally chased people down and held them on the side of the road while the procession passed, when there were multiple lanes of travel in one direction.
Right? It’s not like the body is going anywhere.
Can someone explain why they would need to wear gun belts with tazers, pepper spray and night sticks? That makes no sense. That's like if the guy bagging your groceries needed to wear a harness and a helmet with a parachute. I mean it makes NO sense.
He keeps calling hee back to "explain" things but instead he asks her the same question that she's already clearly answered. Dude has serious insecurity issues that spark his need to control others.
He’s a narcissist. He literally can’t stop himself. It’s tragic but addicting to watch.
His patches always change. Enforcement, Special Operations, Motor Officer.
That's because he is still contemplating on a career and likes to keep his options open. He does know for sure that when he grows up he wants to be a cop. Wait.... next it will be Secret Service or some Special Ops. With this lunatic anything goes.
Special Needs Special Forces
Look at his uniform while recording this call. He seriously thinks he’s a cop lol
Not just a cop, but he think he is above everything. Driving recklessly , while yelling at everyone. It was a funeral escort, not a murderer chasing, for god shake. Yet, he think he was in charge and in the right. Look at how frustration he was (like he had the worse job and everyone was so stupid). He thought he was doing some heroic things, but really, he was just playing GTA.
He wears 2 stars on his collar...like hes a general or high ranking police LT or something
He wishes he was a dirty cop
Oh my god he even has his ringtone set to a police radio noise lmao
I LOVE how the lady just hangs up on him without letting him finish his sentence.
Yes...it makes one feel good. I'm still laughing!
Can’t wait for the body cam footage of this dingleberry’s arrest. What a clown.
I believe it. I’d just like to see body cam footage of Orange County Deputies grabbing him. That would amazing.
There's footage of him in court fighting back tears.
I’ll definitely have to look that up. Thanks!
@@briantoal8872 the court footage is on the end of the last on road video of him on this channel
Travis Bourg sociopaths hate seeing themselves for what they really are
Good for her! This woman needs to rewarded. Had he had a tiny bit of humility, he wouldn’t be in this situation to begin with. Kudos to you lady!
Oh, Jeremy, that IS harassment! I’ll never understand how this man was allowed to bond out on so many different arrests. As they started to stack up, they should have revoked all of his bonds.
Tin foil hat theory real world police PAID the judges to keep letting him bond so they can keep milking content. Do I actually believe this theory? Hell no but it’s fun to think about.
His “employees” should be arrested for impersonating an officer too. That should be a minimum of 2 years in prison. If he does it again, put him away for ten years and take his drivers license.
This guy just REALLY like’s to LARP. He just didn’t research his character well enough beforehand 🤣
"you are an elven high priestess, sitting before the court of your people, beginning to find her royal duties to be monotonous. If only the king and queen would let you have a little fun..."
"I, a burly dwarf... Muscles toned from constant mining. Dirty, tattered shirt has failed to contain my bulging biceps. Drenched in sweat, it clings to my awesome six pack... Am brought before you. I have been charged with trespassing in your peoples quarry. You find me handsome, and my woodsy, earthy musk caresses your nose."
OK now you go
i love the girl laughing thinking it's funny meanwhile he's committing a felony and gets arrested for this
Maybe she just likes to see him get arrested.
Slot
Lol right "i love this so much"
Theyre both idiots lol. Way too much time on their hands
